Come on, you can find it, the info is out there.......

I doubt it. You would have shared it if it existed. White peony inhibiting 5-AR appears to be a myth resulting from people misunderstanding the abstract of the paper you cited.

I'd read the entire threads of xxd, quite possibly the best anecdotal postings I've seen.

I am irritated by the wild goose chase you sent me on. XXD, Isabelle, and Abi Drew never mentioned taking Reishi in those threads. Tibetan Princess only mentioned it on page 1 of 66, didn't mention any effects, and was also taking pygeum so it would be impossible to isolate any Reishi effects on DHT.

With no human trials looking at Reishi vs 5-AR and no anecdotal reports that it relieves DHT symptoms, it thus appears that all we can say at the moment is that we hope that Reishi triterpene half-life in humans is a lot longer than it is in rats so that 5-AR can be blocked all day long.
